Error running virutal box on Fedora 10


While trying to install VirtualBox on Fedora 10 running 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 kernel

I got the error

** Compiling vboxdrv
Attempting to install using DKMS

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv/2.2.0/source ->
/usr/src/vboxdrv-2.2.0

DKMS: add Completed.

Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 cannot be found at

You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without
Makefile:140: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.


when I attempted to do "yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) I get the error
[root@xps1 ddel]# yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process

Nothing to do


I cannot search and find source rpm for my running kernel


[root@xps1 ddel]# rpm -qa| grep kernel

kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686
kernel-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686


On running yum install kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 got installed.

How can I get VirtualBox working ?

Thanks in advance

You can try to install the more recent kernel 2.6.27.21-170.2.56 or look for the devel and headers packages of your currently running kernel, here.
